The Victor Retrieves A Raxing Shot

A fine action study of Miss "Jimmy" Holwill retrieving a raking drive to the corner of the court during the finals of the Ladies Tennis Singles Championship yesterday, when she disposed of Mrs. Thelma Collaco to retain her title.

Although never at any point brilliant. the match was very evenly contested and the visible effort, so apparent in the above photo, gives a fair indication of the hard fight Miss Holwill had in defeating her plucky opponent to the tune of 3-6, 6-8, 6-4.
